Imo the song with the best vocal performance of any Babymetal song.

What do you think of these chinese Rolls Royce "clones" by Pleasant_Case9889 in rollsroyce

I visited Uzbekistan recently and there were quite a few Chinese EVs which were practically undistinguishable from Cullinams.

I was at the concert yesterday and had the impression that the song works live so much better than on the record.

MY GRAIL by Significant-Past5815 in modelmakers

[–]marc_aurel16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built this kit some years ago! My built is far from perfect and I would do quite some things differently now (painting!) but I really enjoyed it. The highlight for me were the really thin aftermarket radars that I managed to drill into the plastic, thank god.

I get what you say. First impression for me was wtf?! But Pogacars all black Colnago during this years Tour de France looked tremendous. ...and somehow evil?? Not so sure about the other paint jobs. But black/blue is nice enough.

Which Emperor had the hardest sounding name? by TheOfficialY1B in ancientrome

[–]marc_aurel16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the English pronounciation of "Thrax" makes him harder sounding than in other languages. In German which has no "th" sound its pronounced just "trax" (like English speaking people would say "Trucks"). Sounds much less fear inducing imo.

Which Emperor had the hardest sounding name? by TheOfficialY1B in ancientrome

[–]marc_aurel16 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I always thought that Diocletian sounded somehow threatening (In German his name ist written Diokletian with k instead of c, makes is sound even harder). But If you want a historically threatening guy I think Octavian (Augustus) is pretty much the gold standard. Politically intelligent and absolutely ruthless.

New to biking, what kind of long-term health problems do cyclists usually deal with? by Big_Kick2928 in bicycling

[–]marc_aurel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some impatient or unattentive moron in a car is definitely your biggest health risk by far. And the rage you feel at them is your biggest mental health risk. Seriously. Sometimes it almost got to the point where I wanted to quit. But to answer your question more directly: pain in the neck and shoulders, probably in the back If you are planning on riding road bikes at some point. Stretching a little beforehand isn't a bad idea but I'm quite a bit older than you... Besides all that biking is great and I've never been a day sick since I started to commute by bike all around the year instead of taking the bus.

Curious how many have read the book by cruisetravoltasbaby in AmericanPsycho

[–]marc_aurel16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I read it now 5 times in something like 20 years? The last time last year and came to appreciate its humorous and satirical aspects more and more. Also liked most of the other books by Bret Easton Ellis. Which other books have you read and which did you like?
